Abstract The synthesis of a molecule containing four adjacent different pnictogens was attempted by conversion of a Group 15 allyl analogue anion [Mes*NAsPMes*] − (Mes*=2,4,6‐tri‐ tert ‐butylphenyl) with antimony(III) chloride. A suitable precursor is Mes*N(H)AsPMes* ( 1 ) for which several syntheses were investigated. The anions afforded by deprotonation of Mes*N(H)AsPMes* were found to be labile and, therefore, salts could not be isolated. However, the in situ generated anions could be quenched with SbCl 3 , yielding Mes*N(SbCl 2 )AsPMes* ( 4 ).
